A probably candidate for the U.S. presidency in 2012, Mike Huckabee, is
in Israel forging ties.
Former U.S. presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has appointed himself a
voluntary ambassador for Israel.

The former Governor of Arkansas, and Baptist pastor, who is now a Fox
News commentator, was in Israel on his twelfth visit, and his 3rd in
less than 2 years, hosting a tour of 170 people, mostly on their first
trip to the Jewish state.

Huckabee is being treated as an honored guest as he is likely to be a
presidential candidate again in 2012, after running second to John
McCain in 2008. He met a gathering of Knesset members Friday, while in
the next few days he will have private meetings with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, Defense Minister Ehud
Barak, and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

Huckabee heaped praise on Israel while criticizing the United States.
He was particularly scathing about U.S. policy on Iran, saying at one
point during a speech to Israeli Knesset (parliament) members, that he
was "disturbed," by it. "A nuclear device, in the hands of a madman
like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is simply unacceptable, and the world, not
just Israel, but the rest of the free world, must make it clear that
that cannot and will not happen, under any circumstances, at any time,"
he told Knesset members.

The former Republican presidential candidate said he agreed with Mr
Netyahu's avid warning: "This is 1938. And Iran is Germany."

Mr Huckabee was also critical of the Obama administration's priorities
in the Middle East, describing them as "misplaced."

"It pains me that I hear more concern from this administration of our
country, talking about the building of a baby's nursery in a
Jewish-owned community in Israel, than about the construction of a
nuclear bomb in Iran," he said. His remarks received a standing ovation
from the Israeli Knesset members.

The former two-time governor went on to speak about his warmth and
friendship towards Israel and the relationship that exists not just
between governments, but between Israel and the average American.

Interviewed by INN TV, he told the network he has a high opinion of
Israel and that he enjoys accompanying people to the country as he gets
the opportunity to witness at first hand how people are awakened to the
issues confronting Israel. Those on the tour, which was organized by
Ducar International (wholesale tour operators), are being charged
$4,000 per person for the 10 day trip.

Mr Huckabee also praised Israel for its technological advances,
particularly given that it occupied just "8,000 square miles on the
entire planet."

"I don't think anybody rationally can say 'well, they just have too
doggone much territory, they have too much land.' Too much of what?
They have to pump their water in every way possible and squeeze every
possible benefit of every drop, They essentially took over a desert,
they turned it green, they've fed themselves and fed half the world
from it, their technology is unbelievable, number two in patents
worldwide. If anything, the world should say 'thank you Israel' for
establishing not just a place of refuge but a place really that has
been an influence to the rest of the world."

"My hope and my prayer is that not only will you sense our gratitude
for your hospitality and for your candor in sharing with us the
perspective you have brought to us today, but I also would sincerely
want to express that it is our desire to go back to our home, not only
as good and faithful and loyal Americans, but also as voluntary
ambassadors for our friends in Israel, that we might always pray for
the peace of Jerusalem, that we might always work for the stability,
the safety, and the security of this land, and these people, our
friends, our family," Mr Huckabee told Knesset members. God bless you."

Huckabee to be voluntary ambassador for Israel
Huckabee makes so much sense; too bad the Administration doesn't listen

Huckabee for prez
I wish I would've known more about Huckabee the last election. I
definitely will vote for him in the next one. Obama is lame.

WHEN WILL THE CORRUPTION OF THE BALFOUR BE OVERTURNED?
Friends of Israel must face reality and show real intergrity - even
when it is difficult. This is only verifiable when the Balfour is
restored and the culprits commited to a Nuremberg II Trial. The
Balfour's corruption was and remains both immoral and illegal,
perpetrated under extreme duress when the Jews were helpless following
W.W.II. And those who called this carving of 80% of a tiny land as a
2-state *COMPROMISE* really and truly deserve penalising, along with
all who remain silent of it. To again demand another state of what's
left - and again call this deathly 3-state as a 2-state, says a PC
Holocaust is underway at the UN. Israel is now occupying less than 12%
of the land allocated her in the Balfour [80% went to Jordan; 8% to the
west bank & Gaza] - and still facing the world's most outragious
villifications. In actual fact, only the ficticious states created by
Britian requires re-examination, with all the world's nations voting -
as was the case with Israel. Britain played the real Judas - for 30
barrels of oil.

Israel will prevail
My fellow humans .. let me clarify about the Jewish people ... They are
destined to win and prosper .... Hukabee's warm regards about Israel
are good and it can be a witness to tie core truth. I liked his way of
supporting the blessed Jewish people
*
I like Mike
Huckabee is a smart and pragmatic man unlike Obama and the fools around
him giving lousy advice.
*
Genesis 12 says plainly that God will bless those who bless the nation
of Israel. The reason America have seen a crash in our economy of late
is directly tied to the Gen. 12 covenant. Bush as a christian should
have known that, but instead he gave away Gaza. But my man Huck, now
he's a real christian. Huck 2012. God grant us grace until then!
*
Governor Huckabee:  Thank you for your wise and thoughtful words! You
speak on behalf of millions of Americans who also choose to be
voluntary ambassadors of Israel. America is tied irrevocably to Israel.
We must support the sovereignty and success of Israel in order for
ourselves to succeed.
Look what is in the middle of JerUSAlem!
GOD Bless You Governor Huckabee for being a sagacious and stalwart
champion of truth and freedom for all people. GOD Bless Israel and GOD
Bless the United States of America!

Subject: Ronald Reagan would have been 99 today, here is a tribute

Thinking of President Reagan always reminds me of my Grandmother. She
had that same beautiful smile, humor and great love for people and our
country.
I always enjoyed listening to President Ronald Reagan's great depth of
wisdom, compassion, common sense, and determination to bring freedom to
every people.
Here is some of his humorous moments:
"I'm afraid I can't use a mule. I have several hundred up on Capitol
Hill." -refusing a gift of a mule
"I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this
campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my
opponent's youth and inexperience." -during a 1984 presidential debate
with Walter Mondale
The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal
them away.
It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the
chance?
I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the
afternoon.
I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national
emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting.
Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his
age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped
worrying.
Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.
But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I
was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.
Ronald Reagan
I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I
know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.
With our eyes fixed on the future, but recognizing the realities of
today. ... we will achieve our destiny to be as a shining city on a
hill for all mankind to see.
"A troubled and afflicted mankind looks to us, pleading for us to keep
our rendezvous with destiny; that we will uphold the principles of
self-reliance, self-discipline, morality, and, above all, responsible
liberty for every individual that we will become that shining city on a
hill." We are indeed, and we are today, the last best hope of man on
earth."
"We fought, we dreamed, that dream is still with us."
Ronald Reagan,
"The American dream is not that every man must be level
with every other man. The American dream is that every man
must be free to become whatever God intends he should
become."
"If not us, then who; if not now, then when." — President Ronald Reagan
"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away
from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for
and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a
people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never
known it again."
"America will never be whole as long as the right to life
granted by our Creator is denied to the unborn."
The American dream is not that every man must be level
with every other man. The American dream is that every man
must be free to become whatever God intends he should
become."
"Republicans believe every day is the 4th of July. Democrats believe
every day is April 15th".
We have every right to dream heroic dreams and after all why shouldn't
we believe that? We are Americans.
Let us be sure that those who come after us will say of us in our time,
that in our time we did every thing that could be done, we finished the
race, we kept them free, we kept the faith. All we need to begin with
is a dream that we can do better than before. All we need to have is
faith and that dream will come true. All we need to do is act and the
time for action is now. The world's hopes rest in America's future.
America's hopes rest with us, so let us go forward to create our world
of tomorrow in faith in unity and in love.
"The real question today is not when human life begins,
but, 'What is the value of human life?' The abortionist
who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make
sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body
can hardly doubt whether it is a human being."
-- President Ronald Reagan
